The Mariner Podcast #51: Finally - It‘s Time to go Sailing Again!

Finally, after 18 months of sitting on our hands waiting for some semblance of 'normal' to return to the world - Spartan Ocean Racing is ready to get back on the water and start sailing!

Personally, I am hugely excited by the realization that we can now start to dream a little and start to plan some awesome sailing for 2022 and beyond.

Uppermost in my mind is the fact that the new schedule of events for Spartan is VERY LIGHT on racing events and much more focused on seamanship training, voyaging and visiting interesting ports & countries.

This draws Spartan 100% closer to the ideals that started the company and grants me the opportunity to stop judging the success of an event on the position logged in the race and instead look towards providing the best possible offshore training for those who are excited to be on the water and learn.

The BIG EVENT however, that this new schedule works its way up to is the Ocean Globe Race in 2023 where YOU can join us in this unique opportunity to race a pedigree offshore race boat in a serious ROUND THE WORLD RACE.

So, get over to the website www.spartanoceanracing.com and see for yourself what you could be doing 2 years from now!

Just before you go....
